Chapter 876: The Conqueror

Although he had already arrived last year, Wang Tong was still surprised when he saw this city again, because he didn't know how much more lively it was around this city than the last time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first time he came to the naturalization city, Wang Tongtong led tens of thousands of troops, in order to destroy the country, I answered the department is also a strong wall and clear field, and the army was arranged outside the city to fight hard.

On the last day of the twelfth year of Wanli, I came again, but I found that the naturalization city seemed to have expanded several times, and the city was naturally still the same city, and the size of the naturalization city would not change, but the empty field outside the naturalization city wall was full of people.

After Wang Tong's body recovered, he began to ride forward, he also saw this scene, and he could also hear the exclamations of the guards around him, they had all been here last year.

"Sir, this"

Tan Jiang was just about to explain, but Wang Tong waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Needless to say, I'll see for myself."

General Tan smiled and nodded, half a horse behind, Naturalization City is a city established by the first generation of Altan Khan, but now the Naturalization City is planned by Wang Tong, he wants to see what he has been built on the Naturalization City side since he was absent for more than half a year.

Like the big cities in the interior of the Ming Dynasty such as Jingshi and Nanjing, there are also large residential areas around the naturalized city wall, but the details are different from those around the big cities.

The outermost part is the four ** carriages that circulated from Tianjin Wei, some of them have just entered the field, and some of them are parked there, as if they were camped in wartime, the carts are surrounded by a circle, and there are tents and other settings inside, this should be the caravan that has gone to the grassland and has returned.

There were many caravans, horses, carts, and goods occupied too wide, and the population in the city was now increasing, and there was not so much open space for them to stop, so the outside of the city became their choice, and some important and delicate goods naturally had to be sent to the city for storage.

This is the outermost part of the residential area of Guihua City, where the carts stop, you can see the warehouses built of logs, which is somewhat similar to the port area of Tianjin Wei, the carts and the bulk goods of the trading houses are placed here, this area, you can often see Han Chinese and Mongols on horseback and with knives wandering in groups, and occasionally you can see merchants dressed in rich clothes and big bellies coming in horse-drawn carriages.

Go inward again, but there is a difference, around Beijing and Nanjing, outside the city seems to be a little messy, there are rich mansions, there are also poor people's shacks, but outside the naturalized city, it is composed of a large courtyard, it is a little inappropriate to say that it is a large courtyard, it is more suitable to describe it as a village.

The high wall composed of rammed earth and timber, and the watchtowers and other settings on several key parts of the high wall, these courtyards are separated from each other, and the interval is the road, at this time, the gate of the courtyard is open, and when you pass by, you can see the scene inside the large courtyard.

This is not a mansion of a rich family, but a village where the people live, Wang Tong glanced back at Tan Jiang, and Tan Jiang explained meaningfully:

"Master, the rules for the people living outside the city are like this, otherwise I would rather not let them live, and those farmers who cultivate the fields now live in such a place."

"There shouldn't be a large force of enemies coming, and I haven't seen such a military report in Beijing."

"Master, be careful, after all, this place is lonely, in case it comes, if these people don't have time to withdraw to the city, then they will suffer heavy losses, and with these stockades outside, they really want the enemy's large force of cavalry to come, and they will have to uproot these barricades one by one, and the city can be calmly defended."

"Are there security guards in these big courtyards?"

"Yes, all young and strong men over the age of 14 must be trained and dare not relax"

Wang Tong smiled and nodded, no longer asking, these arrangements are used to guard against the large force of cavalry on the grassland, relying on firearms and the city to defend, any tribe on the grassland has no other siege methods except for a long-term siege, but the naturalization city attracts a large number of civilians to come, the city may not be able to live, there are all kinds of dangers outside the city, high walls are gathered, it is to prevent such a raid.

Compared to these compounds that can rely on the city, those granges scattered throughout the Naturalized City are more dangerous, so the stockades with a certain defensive ability are more important for them.

Wang Tong's group of dozens of carts, and heavily armed cavalry and foot soldiers followed, and the carts of this team are quite luxuriously decorated, for the female dependents to live in those is, such a team walking on the street, has long attracted the attention of countless people, the outermost of the men who wander on horseback, behave the most casually, and want to come over to see what is going on, but seeing that the team has a cadre led by General Tan, and that General Tan is obviously in the position of the next person, he is even more afraid to be casual.

Only then did I enter the area where there were compounds on both sides of the road, the people on the road were driven to both sides by the cavalry, and many people came out of the courtyard to see the excitement, there have never been any big people in the Naturalization City, and the eunuch sent by the Son of Heaven is just staring at the grange, and he doesn't care much about the political affairs inside and outside the city, this has always been a state of autonomy and co-management, and suddenly such a character comes, which really makes everyone feel fresh and curious.

Naturalization City is a city built in imitation of the Han people, and now it is occupied by the Ming Dynasty, dominated by the Han people, but after all, it is on the grassland, pedestrians on the street and roadside, Mongolian and Western Regions can be seen, and the same is true in architecture, the exotic style is quite heavy, Wang Tong looked at it with great interest, not only him, Han Xia and Zhang Hongying opened the curtain to watch, and even Zhai Xiuer and Lu Ruomei, who were afraid of the cold, were also interested.

After walking for a while, I heard someone on the side of the road shouting excitedly:

"Dashuai, Dashuai, my subordinates have kowtowed to you, I wish Dashuai Huwei will be here for a long time"

The voice trembled a little, Wang Tong took the reins, and looked sideways in the direction of the sound, but it was a strong man kowtowing on the side of the road, and when he looked up, Wang Tong recognized it, and said with a smile:

"Shi San, are you used to living in the north, or are you a single person?"

This Shi San is a small banner of the fifth battalion of the Huwei Army, although he is from a Tianjin Weijun household, but he has no father and mother since he was a child, Wang Tong said that he wanted to retire from the team A group of people came out, and this Shi San himself signed up.

Shi San, who was kneeling there, heard Wang Tong call out his name, felt a light on his face, and said gratefully:

"Thank you for your concern, my subordinates have married wives here and have errands to do, which are all the kindness of the handsome, and they are all the kindness of the handsome."

Speaking of this, he was already choked up and couldn't continue, so he kowtowed on the side of the road, and Tan Jiang leaned over and said in Wang Tong's ear:

"Shi San is now also the captain of the guard of a commercial house in Shaanxi, and he is also the head of the two granges in the east, so he is living a very decent life."

Wang Tong nodded and said with a smile:

"Get up, get up, born and die, don't wipe your tears in this public and be laughed at"

Seeing that he was in a agitated mood and showing such excitement, this old subordinate also made Wang Tongxin sigh, but Tan Jiang on the side reached out and patted his forehead, and said with a self-reproachful smile:

"Meng Duo Meng Gong is just waiting at the city gate, but his subordinates have made a mistake, except for the generals and officials in the city who know that the adults are coming, the rest of the people don't know, this is true"

Wang Tong was about to say that this was not a mistake, but General Tan turned his head and gave a few orders to a personal soldier, and the two cavalrymen ran to the front of the team.

"Dingbei Hou and Jinyi Wei both commanded Wang Tong and Wang to ~~~~~"

After running for a while, he shouted at the top of his voice, and he could hear the sound constantly moving towards the city, and the people on the side of the road were just looking curiously, and when they heard this shout, their faces changed.

Who is Wang Tong, the names of the commanders of Dingbei Hou and Jinyi Wei do not have much deterrent effect on the people here, but Wang Tong is the main general who destroyed the Altan Department and defeated the Naturalization City, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, nearly 100,000 people in the city, and many nobles such as the Khan King of the Altan Department died under his hands.

Nearly one-third of the land in this naturalized city now belongs to Wang Tong, not to mention those caravans, almost all the generals of the armed forces in the city are Wang Tong's old subordinates.

What is Wang Tong to the Naturalization City, he is the conqueror of this city, and Wang Tong can be said to be the master here.

The Han people showed a look of awe on their faces, and the Mongolian people and the people of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions learned from the whispers on the side of the street that their first reaction was to kneel down, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.

For the Han people, Wang Tong is a high-ranking official, a nobleman, and a hero, and for other ethnic groups, Wang Tong is a demon, a killing god, a conqueror, and the master here.

The news spread quickly, inside and outside the city, the Huwei officers and soldiers who stayed here, the officers and soldiers of Datong and the officers and soldiers of Jizhen, were all under the leadership of Wang Tong to win the battle and conquer the Naturalization City, and now they are the leaders and leaders of the various escort teams in the city, they are the upper class of the Naturalization City, and the core of the city's armed forces.

The procession walked slower and slower, and the streets that were still a little noisy just now became very quiet, seeing the Mongolian and Western Regions people kneeling, the Han people on the street were also kneeling on the ground, and the people on both sides of the road were respectfully kneeling, and Wang Tong's line was getting longer and longer, and they were all the warriors of Guihua City who were obeying.

Wang Tong originally rode a horse and walked in the team, but now the servants and the team are slowing down, allowing Wang Tong to walk in the front, and the solemnity and kneeling of the naturalization city belong to Wang Tong alone.
